Analysis of the Current Situation of the Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Industry in 2024: China'
Current Status of Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Industry
《Research Report on the Operational Situation and Investment Prospects of China's Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Industry from 2024 to 2029》 points out that in recent years, stimulated by market demand in downstream application fields such as water treatment and gold extraction, the production capacity of China's coconut shell activated carbon industry has been continuously increasing.
Data shows that in 2023, China's coconut shell activated carbon production capacity reached about 100,000 tons. The production of coconut shell activated carbon in China shows a clear industrial cluster, with enterprises mainly distributed in Hebei Province in North China, Henan Province and Guangxi Province in Central and South China, Jiangsu Province in East China, and relatively few enterprises in other regions.
From the perspective of enterprise production capacity and revenue levels, China's coconut shell activated carbon industry can be roughly divided into three tiers. The first tier includes Yuanli Co., Ltd., which has a high competitive position, with a production capacity of over 120,000 tons and business revenue exceeding 1.2 billion yuan; the second tier includes enterprises with production capacities above 40,000 tons or business revenues exceeding 200 million yuan, such as Huqing Environmental Protection and Huahui Environmental Protection; the third tier includes Feiyang Environmental Protection, Zhixing Carbon Industry, Beihua Co., Ltd., etc., which have a certain degree of market recognition, with annual production capacities of 30,000 tons or less and revenue levels below 200 million yuan.
In terms of the entry process of competitors, Ningxia Huahui Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. was the earliest to enter the coconut shell activated carbon industry in the early 1990s; other enterprises entered the coconut shell activated carbon industry mostly in the late 1990s and early 21st century. In terms of registered capital, Ningke Biological and Beihua Co., Ltd. have relatively high registered capital, exceeding 500 million yuan, while Huahui Environmental Protection and the original Yuanli Co., Ltd. also have relatively high registered capital, in the range of 300-400 million yuan.
Currently, among the representative coconut shell activated carbon production enterprises in China, Yuanli Co., Ltd. has a strong competitive advantage in production capacity, being one of the few enterprises with an annual production capacity exceeding 120,000 tons. Most enterprises have production capacities of 20,000 to 50,000 tons, including Chengde Huajing, Carbon Baby, Huahui Environmental Protection, and Northern Chemical.
Prospects of the Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Industry
The increasing awareness of environmental protection and the growing demand for air and water purification. Coconut shell activated carbon, due to its excellent adsorption performance, is widely used in air purification, water treatment, and industrial waste gas treatment. The analysis of the current status of the coconut shell activated carbon industry points out that many countries and regions have strict regulations and standards for environmental protection, which drives the demand for efficient and environmentally friendly materials, and coconut shell activated carbon meets these requirements.
New technologies and improved production processes have enhanced the quality and performance of coconut shell activated carbon, making its applications more widespread across various fields. In addition to traditional water treatment and air purification, coconut shell activated carbon has also been developed for applications such as decolorization and deodorization in pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages, with market potential continuously expanding.
Coconut shells, as a renewable resource, reduce dependence on non-renewable resources and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals. Coconut shell activated carbon has a lower environmental burden and offers better sustainability and environmental friendliness compared to other activated carbons.
In summary, the prospects for the coconut shell activated carbon industry are generally optimistic, especially driven by environmental protection demands and technological advancements. With increasing market demand and expanding application fields, this industry is expected to continue to grow and develop.
